Rhythm of Dots
The Story Behind Rhythm of Dots
“Rhythm of Dots” began on a quiet winter morning in the studio when the clay had its own ideas about movement. What started as a simple handbuilt form began to twist slightly, leaning into an easy curve that felt alive. Rather than smoothing it into symmetry, I let it dance.
Along the way, I pressed four rounded buttons of clay into the surface—bright notes waiting for color. When glazed, they became moments of joy: red, blue, mint, and amber—each one carrying its own tone against the soft, speckled cream background.
The result is a vase full of rhythm and personality—its shape like a melody held in clay. The glossy glaze, freckles, and gentle lean give it that unmistakable mark of something made by hand, where balance meets spontaneity.
Perfect as a flower vase especially for dried stems, this artisan pottery piece works beautifully in modern, boho, and eclectic interiors and also can stand alone as sculptural art. Each vase is individually handcrafted by MFCarter Pottery in Essex Junction, Vermont, with all the subtle variations in speckling, glaze, and texture that highlight the character of true small-batch ceramics.
